Alfred Brown, a barber residing at 5584 | Howard street, was shot yesterday after- noon at his home by Willlam Barrett, a former friend, with whom he had recently quarreled. Brown was taken to the City Recelving Hospital, where It was found that the bullet had entered the left side, produc- ing a wound which the doctors declare o be serfous but not necessarily fatal. In relating his version of the affa‘r Brown declared that since the death of Barrett's wife some six weeke ago Bar- rett has been persecuting Mrs. Brown with his attentions. Brown had asked Barrett to degist and for a time his at- tentions ceaded. Recently Barrett, wo Brown clalms, has circulated false storfes about Mrs. Brown. Yesterday Barrett went to Brown's house and insisted on waiting for him to come home. When Brown arrived at the house hix wife to'd him that Barrett was there and together Ihfl{ went into the room where he was #itting. A wordy quarrel ensued and Bar- rett, according o the story of Brown and his wife, fired a shot from a pistol which he had concealed in his coat pocket. When Brown realized that he had bean shot he set upon Barrett and with the assistance of his wife held him until the pol:u: came in and placed him under a rest.

CHARDON, Ohlo, April 4—A gang of & half-dozen robbers early to-day blew open the safe of the Citizens’ Savings Bank here and after a desperate fight with Night Watchman Pomeroy and a citizen succeeded in making their escape. It is believed the robbers secured less than $200. Night Watchman Pomeroy discovered the men at work in the bank. He was seized, bound and gagged, but not until he had shot one of the burglars. Dr. Hadson, who lives near the bank, was aroused by the noise and came to the scene. He was -l!loe:ld.fid nmg’ lle(}l hand a.nd‘ afl‘mt. It re- quired three big charges of dynamite to Dlow the safe door off After completing their work the robbers left town on a handear. . Early to-day two men were arrested at ‘Willoughby ugon the charge of bel members of the gang which robbed th Chardon bank. The robbers s gaining entrance to only one com; 3 of the big safe. In another part, which was not reached, it is said nearly $50,000 was stored. Pomeroy is badly used up. After he skot one of the burglars he was unmercifully clubbed over the head. After Mn’ bound and gagged the watchman was dragged into the bank. He lay there a witness to all the operations. At each explosion the robbers retired to places of safety. Pomeroy lay in an ex- goud place and no attention was pald to im, except that one of the yobbers, whose arm had evidently been broken by the shot from Pomeroy’'s gun, ocea: gave him a kick in the ribs as he passed. 'he robbers were a long time into the vault. They gathered up the loose coins lying about and then went at the strong box. They exploded several charges but could not force it. After an investigation to-day Cashier C. L. Smith of the bank said: * robbers got $125 in gold. 320,000 in certificates held against the bank by individuals and $25,000 or $30,000 worth of mortgage and other se- curities belonging to individuals. _;lunm of the paj en is negotiable. was 330,000 in currency in another vauit, which they did not touch.” A posse of citizens 1s scouring the sur- rounding country for the robbers. It is believéd that some colns found in sion_of the two men arrested at Wil- loulhhhare part of those taken from the bank. Those men aiso had several sticks of dynamite in their pockets.
